3,5-Dichloroaniline Explained

3,5-Dichloroaniline is an organic compound with the formula C6H3Cl2(NH2). It is one of several isomers of dichloroaniline. It is a colorless solid although commercial samples often appear colored. It is produced by hydrogenation of 3,5-dichloronitrobenzene.[1] It is a precursor to the fungicide vinclozolin.

Safety and environmental aspects

Its 72-h EC50 in an algal growth inhibition assay is 4.39 mg/L.[2] Biodegradation of dichloroanilines usually proceeds via initial ring hydroxylation.[3]
